UPDATE: Move to Kentucky is Complete

Our move to Kentucky from South Carolina is officially complete. Over the past 6-8 weeks a lot has happened and it’s not nearly over. I’ve been swamped as we prepped for the move, transferred the camper to Kentucky, then moved my cargo trailer as well.

Camper during the trip from South Carolina to Kentucky.

 

Camper in-place on the river.

Fellow Patriot Brigade member “Doomsday” moved the camper for me as my truck did not have the towing capacity. Back when we purchased the camper plans were to move up to a bigger truck – but I’m sure you know what happened to the truck market. Nope – couldn’t pull that trigger and add to my debt. Thanks Doomsday!!!!!!

After arriving in northern Kentucky and putting the camper in place, a giant storm came through that night. The camper rocked as the rain went sideways and I have to admit I was more than a little concerned. All was good.No leaks and no damage. Wow! It was something else.

After getting the camper in place a return to South Carolina was needed as I needed to complete another 6 weeks at my job. MainPrepperGirl had headed to Kentucky about a week before me to start job hunting. As a nurse with a fantastic resume it should not take long for her to find something. My replacement was hired, I worked on some training fro him – and just a few days ago I hooked up my 7′ x 16′ cargo trailer and headed to Kentucky.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System – installed on the Ram Warlock

About a week prior to heading out to Kentucky I installed a set of Timbren’s to reduce the squat of my truck under load. I own a 2019 Ram 1500 Cloasic Warlock – which I love. It has a great ride, however, the rear suspension is very soft. The Timbrens worked great.

The cargo trailer was loaded at near capacity. It road great with the Curt Sway Bar installed. First few hours of the trip had my nerves fried due to a lot of construction, traffic, and narrow lanes.

A couple days ago I arrived after a 10-hour drive. It felt so good to finally be there, although, I’ve had some apprehension as my two boys are still back in South Carolina. Although they are grown with one of them a father and the other is engaged – they are still my two little boys.

 


Storm Coming Through At Ohio River in Kentucky 
We are still getting settled and I start my new job Monday. Same company – a lot larger facility. I will walk into the facility and proclaim – “I came here to chew bubblegum and kick some ass……and I’m all out of bubblegum.” Ok – maybe I won’t exactly do that but you get the point.

I’m looking forward to doing some fishing right out in my backyard and we’ll be exploring the entire area to seek out adventure and increase our quality of life. Hiking. Biking. Exploring. There’s a gym nearby and we’ve been going there each morning. We are prioritizing health and fitness to a new level.

I need to find a shooting range.

Over the next several months we are going to be looking to buy a house. Interest rates are heading up and hopefully, prices will start dropping. While we are largely mobile and I’ll be documenting our contingency planning in the Patriot Brigade membership area. We hope to find a place that is out in the country and with few neighbors. 5 acres or more would be good. We’ll see.

Stay safe folks. It’s getting crazy!

    WOW! I’m jealous but so happy for you. Found a dentist to pull your two front teeth out yet? You want to get along with the locals, right? When you go to work, greet your team and give each one a stick of gum. Then later tell them your ready to kickass! Best of luck.

    What a relief to finally be there! I know you need a permanent place, but at least you can take a bit of time to relax and just to get know your new environment.

    I know you’re familiar with Telegram, and that’s what my family uses to stay in touch. My daughter and I wind up chatting for a bit most nights. She’s just getting off work when I’m heading for bed, but we try to take a few minutes to find out what the other one’s up to. She can vent about her bad day, and I can nag her long distance!

    Glad to hear the move went well for you. I used to work as a Construction Manager for a firm located in Boston. I live in Clemson, SC, thankfully retired now. One of my projects was in Georgetown, SC. I parked my RV in an RV park that also had a marina. I was on lot no. 4, next to the boat ramp. I had my 20′ center console parked next to me and did a lot of fishing after work. I was there for a little over a year. While there, had a tropical storm come thru. I had a couple of sets of screw in earth anchors left over from the job site. I installed them day before the storm made land fall and rode it out. The RV shook a bit, but not nearly as bad as the time a tornado passed by on another location. That one woke me in the middle of night. I was hanging on to the corners of the bed. I remember thinking…”I’m gonna get car sick”!

    Just a heads up my friends.We are good ways out of town and heat and cook with propane. I recently topped off my tanks at $2.74 per gallon for a delivery over 300 gallons.A delivery under 300 gallons is $2.99 per gallon.

    The driver whom I’ve known for over 20 years says there is nothing but
    terrible news in the energy industry coming in the very near future.He said
    that shortages of fuel oil,propane,and natural gas are a foregone conclusion.

    The fuel company is planning lay offs in the late summer and early fall because demand will be high and prices will be higher than most people
    can pay and product availability wii be at an all time low.

    I’ve felt for quite a while that this propane situation would cause us grief.
    We are now trying to cook as much as possible on three electric hot plates.
    Conserving propane is a priority for us.Our Pacific Standard wood burner is the best prepping buy that we’ve done.

    Securing your heating and cooking abilities is soooo important.

    Chuck, up here in upstate NY propane is $5.05 per gallon.
    We have solar for electric which helps immensely but our hot water is propane.
    Rourke- thanks for sharing.I wish you both the very best ! I can understand about your boys but hopefully you will visit one another in person as well as by video chat. Arlene

    Congratulations on a successful move. Have moved 3 times in the last 10 years, and as you know, it is a particularly stressful ordeal. Once you find a home you can start learning how to make moonshine and play the banjo. Time to replace stress with simple enjoyment and an appreciation of life, and some humor also. Peace be upon you.
